As we know, both mining and staking have their own risks and advantages. For example, mining is relatively more secure since you own the tools and do the mining privately without an intermediary (we talk about independent mining, not mining pools), but it needs big resources like electricity and expensive tools and hardware. Moreover, there is a regulatory and legal issue for some countries, and you must be aware of that and always keep up to date. But, it actually has the potential for long-term value since mining is more decentralized and there won't be risks like being scammed by third parties (hosts). On the other hand, staking also has its own risks, such as lock-up funds, which mean you can't use your funds as you wish at any time you need them, and since it's kind of centralized, you need to be careful for the intervention of the stakeholder itself or the whales, who hold a significant portion of the staked funds and have a disproportionate influence on network governance and decision-making. However, compared to mining, you need less energy and hardware to engage in staking. It needs lower operational costs and is relatively easier to do than mining. Everyone could jump in without any sophisticated tools. Now, it is up to you. With this comparison, I wish you could choose which one is best for you.
